Have you considered that it may be more [relevant] education we need, not less?
I shan't bother asking for proof of that because I doubt it would be forthcoming.
Sex education in this country is a mess. But that's because sexual relationships are not taught about at all. My sex education? "Right lads, don't."
Things were a lot worse in the "good old days" of "good girls don't".
I'll join my fellow posters in raising my eyebrows about the veracity of that statement...
In any case, if sex education was to blame how come the rest of Europe is not rife with STDs?
:rolleyes:
So all teachers who teach sexual education are child abusers?
I dont think he does see it like that though, he is what is sometimes refered to as a Troll. He says something provocative in an effort to whip us up into a frensy of excitement. Instead however all of us just dismiss him for being an arse.
I'm not sure it will help you get laid, though....
I'm fairly certain sex education isnt there to increase your chances of getting 'laid'.
No, we had PE for that. Sex Ed was to decrease our wish to get laid.
Too true. Sex is something that diffuses throughout your waking life, the feelings and emotions being the most important part of it all by a mile. Are you taught how to cope with passion (can you be?) desire and love?
No.
You are taught the chilly mechanics as though you were all fucking engineers or something. While real-hate-shun-ships are not automatically the grounds for good sex and good living they are certainly the best way (I have found) to enjoy the best feelings that you can have as a human being.
Just my experience, doesn't mean it's true of everyone, natch.
While I uproariously agree with the latter half of your comment, the question regarding the lack of education on passion and how to cope with love is grotesque. You’re kind, like your nonconformist heroes of the past forget/forgot why schools and the education system were originally created:
To teach children to read and write, learn about history and guide them using authority and discipline into responsible adults. Schools have remained the same for many years, but what is taught in them has now slid into the gutter side of chav. I for one do not need to be taught how to cope with passion, desire and love.
Seeing as you are around again, are you going to back up your opening post with proof?
I think that parents put too much responsibility on schools on teaching children how to handle relationships, love and sexuality. Whilst children need to be taught about contraception, sexual preferences and STDs the adults should still take a part in the teaching... As they should with teaching their own offspring morals, helping to motivate them in life and learn to love.
We all know a lot of families have issues within themselves, but sometimes we seem to place too much responsibility on to authorities and blame somebody else when things fuck up.
People think that it doesn't matter, the GUM clinic will fix them. People like the risk.
It's a mess, and I think British social attitudes are to blame. Education won't fix that. Sex is seen as taboo, something rebellious, and that's why young people are drawn to it. Teach kids how to do it whilst the Daily Mail teaches them its bad, and kids will go and do it to rebel.
The fact that people complain over a nipple on TV in this country is what the matter is.
